Thanks to a reader for sharing this email from the current owners:

“The LaundroMutt needs new owners…or we will be closing our doors come April 30th, 2010.

We, the owners, have found ourselves too busy with our other business commitments and must sell the LaundroMutt. We would very much like to see this great business continue in the neighborhood and we have loads of ideas to increase revenue and bring additional, exciting services to the customers….but we simply do not have the time or resources to do this.

We are accepting all offers from interested buyers….but are looking to move quickly. It is a great, fun place to work with cool customers (2 and 4 legged). We will gladly share all ideas we have for expanding the business in order to increase revenue and best serve the loyal customers and supportive neighborhood.

Please contact sueb@homewardtrails.org or lrol@aol.com if you are interested.”

A reader sang their praises back in Oct. ‘09. Laundromutt is located at 1722 Florida Ave., NW.

I think I once showed these dogs from Columbia Heights back in the day. But I couldn’t take my eyes off them last weekend. I’m curious what you guys think because they seem very content to me. How long should dogs stay in a vestibule before it starts to be cruel?

“Dear PoP,

Everyone, knowing that PoP readers are all pet lovers – I am reaching out to you all to see if a) anyone of you would be willing to adopt my two cats or b) try and help me find someone who can. My son has an allergy to cats and the only viable option is to get rid of the cats. I will provide a 20lb bag of food, a supply of wet food, litter, food bowls, scratching posts and other items associated with the care of two cats. Also, the cats will get full check up and updated vaccinations prior to adoption. Giving up our cats is our only option at this point and if we could keep them we would. Note that both cats are indoor cats. Also, we can recommend a great cat sitter for those times when you may need one. See below for pictures and description of each cat.

Cinnamon: Is a 10 year old, male, neutered tabby cat. He is a very sweet cat, loves to sit on a warm lap in the winter and sun himself around the house. He is still playful – loves to chase a laser pointer and wrestles with our younger cat.

Martini: Is an 8 year old male, neutered domestic short hair cat. He is a bit more energetic, but certainly is a sweet, playful cat. He too loves the laser pointer. The cats have been together for 8 years and really enjoy each other’s company. Martini loves to drink dripping water from the tub, and he waits patiently for showers to end so he can hop in the tub.

I would entertain any options at this point and am willing to talk to potential adopters. Please contact me at kjmoyer(at)themorancompany(dot)com Thank you all for your consideration.”

A friend of mine took a photo of this flier found at the Shaw Dog Park on 11th Street, NW (north of Q).

Think this is a bit overkill?

I know the above photo is not, uh, the most delicate but those dogs were flying around so it was tough to snap a photo. Anyway, I’ve been curious about dogs wearing coats. This may be a stupid question but does it just depend on the breed? Obviously this dog seemed to be in heaven:

So how do you decide if your dog needs a coat?
